Shirley (11967) is in the Town of Brookhaven, along Suffolk's South Shore, close to Mastic Beach, Brookhaven and Mastic. After a fire, hose water frequently does more damage than the flames, so drying and smoke cleaning go together.
Mixed-age construction is common near the water, which matters when assessing fire and smoke damage.
